Sheep's head sitting on the side in the kitchen! Can`t beat it :D
Seriously though you never see him touting for business either out side his restaurant or on here and lots of Turkish people eat there! I also love the way the Efes is served!  ;)

It's such a shame that the Restauranteurs in Calis dont realise if they opened up a purley Authentic Turish Restaurant it would be so popular.  However, they seem to think that every British person wants British Food.  I was reading Trip Advisor recently and there was a very unflattering piece about Calis and in particular about the food.  The person saying it could be any seaside resort in England with fry ups and fish and chips... here it is

We all love the Mozaik in Fethiye, but when I read a report about a restaurant on this Forum in Calis 9 times out of ten it recommends the steak.  I am sure the restaurant owners in Calis must read these reports too.

Yes but the same person also claims "Beach sellers, tour reps and waiter hassle you constantly." - something I would be interested to hear from members here about, as I do not notice that. I know most of the sellers and restaurant front guys so maybe they don't hassle me - but I don't ever see anyone else getting hassled either. In Spain recently they didn't have anyone "front of house" - you go in or you don't, nobody is bothered but one thing we don't suffer with in Calis is a constant flow of African folk - sunglasses man, bracelets woman, dvd man, wooden mask man, handbags man, carved crappy giraffe man, rings woman, crazy oversize sunglasses man, blue flying light thing man - and that is straight to your table as you are eating, all those guys within half an hour in some restaurants - and they don't hear the first few "no thanks" either (and occasionally I heard them getting just a little aggressive when people on other tables bothered to show a little interest but didn't buy anything and were "wasting my time"...)

I think Calis has it about right  8)

I read the Tripadvisor link as a review from someone who was expecting Park Lane on an Old Kent Road budget :D
